Here is what I have done when I had an ISP that required SMTP AUTH:

# cat /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
upstream.mail.exchange                user@isp.tld:password

# grep -r sasl_passwd /etc/postfix/
/etc/postfix/main.cf:smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Then, make sure to run:

# postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

This should leave you with a file called /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db
which postfix which actually use as the source of the authentication
information.

Also, make sure that the sasl_passwd and sasl_passwd.db have mode 600
and that you have libsasl2-modules installed.
